      But after scoring ten goals in 16 games whilst on loan in the south of France, he is back on some top European club’s radar.
      According to Tuttosport (via Sport Witness), Tottenham are reigniting their interest in Milik should star man Harry Kane leave this summer.
      Chairman Daniel Levy will have a tough job on his hands trying to keep Kane, who is attracting interest from both Manchester clubs.
      Manchester City will be desperate to sign a striker this summer, especially after their Champions League final defeat to Chelsea which saw them line up without a recognised striker.
      But over in Turin, megastar Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is up in the air after the club’s poor campaign which saw then scrape 4th place.
      Should Ronaldo leave, the returning Massimiliano Allegri will need a new man to start up top – and Milik in on Juventus’ radar.
      It is also unclear whether Alvaro Morata’s loan spell from Atletico Madrid will be renewed.
      The 28-year-old had a solid campaign in front of goal, scoring 11 times whilst chipping in with 10 assists.

      Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Dalot said: “I like to become more and more complete.
      “The Italians love football, they always talk about it and being part of this culture has been a fantastic experience. And on the pitch, I feel I have improved a lot tactically.
      “There are some defensive aspects I learned here and it was fantastic to develop these qualities too.
      “That’s not the only thing either, as I improved in pressing high and recovering the ball as soon as possible.
      “Very useful stuff. I say that I had a fantastic year and met beautiful people.

      Georgina, set to star in her own docu-reality show on Netflix, made her comments as she was filmed walking in the street in her homeland.
      She was asked in Spanish: “Is Cristiano staying at Juventus or not?”
      After a moment’s silence she turned to the camera filming her and replied: “He’s staying.”
      Her comments about her partner appear to rule out a return to Manchester United for the Portuguese striker.
      Reports earlier this week claimed the Red Devils were interested in swapping Paul Pogba with the Juve star, who has linked up with the Portugal national team for the Euros.
      Cristiano’s agent was also reported to have offered him to Paris Saint-Germain after his final-day snub.
      Rodriguez, who has a three-year-old daughter called Alana Martina with her partner and plays mum to his other three children, has been spotted in her native city of Jaca.
      The 27-year-old is believed to have reached the northern Spanish city by private jet before being driven around in a white Rolls Royce.

      And now the 35-year-old has won the title with Inter, he is in talks for a second spell at Vicarage Road with the newly-promoted Premier League outfit.
      Young came through the youth set-up at Watford before making his first team debut in 2003.
      He went on to play 110 times for the Hornets and was a part of Aidy Boothroyd’s 2005-06 Championship side which gained promotion to the Premier League.

      How England’s path to Euros glory could look
      Watford have already been active in the transfer market by sweeping in to sign forward Ashley Fletcher on a free transfer from Middlesbrough.
      The 25-year-old former Manchester United prodigy has agreed a five-year deal to move to Vicarage Road when his contract expires next month.

      Matthijs De Ligt refusing to have coronavirus vaccine as Juventus star claims ‘you should be in charge of your own body’

      by

      JUVENTUS star Matthijs De Ligt revealed he has chosen not to take the coronavirus vaccine as ‘it is not mandatory’ and ‘you should be in charge of your own body’.The 21-year-old experienced coronavirus first hand when he contracted the virus back in January – missing two Serie A games as a result.
      De Ligt has stated that he won’t be taking the vaccine, and believes it should be people’s choice whether to take it or notCredit: GETTY IMAGES
      De Ligt has now linked up with the Netherlands national team for this summer’s Euros after a disappointing Juventus campaign saw them scrape fourth place.
      In an interview with ESPN.nl, De Ligt confirmed he has opted against getting the vaccine but insisted people should have the right to choose whether to take it or not.
      He said: “I have not taken a vaccination, it is not mandatory.
      “I think you should be in charge of your own body. The risk of infection is always there.
      “I try to come into contact with as few people as possible outside the Dutch national team.”
      De Ligt isn’t the only Dutch footballing star not to accept the vaccine – manager Frank de Boer confirmed that six others have opted not to get vaccinated.
      Speaking in his press conference on Wednesday, he said: “We have always said at KNVB [Dutch FA] that the people who need the vaccine the most, should get it first. 
      “That happened and now we think it could be a choice to vaccinate ourselves. In recent days, this was possible on a voluntary basis.

      “I think about six players didn’t do it. That’s not a problem either, because you have to know for yourself if you have a shot.
      “I said I would, but in the end it’s the person’s choice and we have to respect that.”
      There have been 1.48billion coronavirus vaccine doses administered worldwide.
      In the UK alone, the successful vaccine rollout has seen 38.8million Brits receive the first dose and 24.4m have both – thanks in large to The Sun’s Jabs Army.
      Major football figures are encouraging the public to get the vaccine to protect lives and get people’s lives back to normal.
      Former manager and player Harry Redknapp, who is fully vaccinated, had a pleasant experience.
      He said: “I’ve now had both my vaccines – they were so simple and I didn’t even feel them. It’s no pain but plenty to gain.
      “The NHS has done a fantastic job of rolling out the vaccine and it’s amazing that we’re starting to see the results.

      “I’d encourage everyone to take up the offer of the vaccine when they are called. [Harry] Maguire’s defence might be pretty good, but the jab is better.”
      Redknapp was joined by Chris Kamara, Eniola Aluko, Chris Hughton, Carlton Cole and Jules Breach earlier this month in a short film encouraging people to get vaccinated.
      Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he is ‘hugely grateful’ to the footballing figures for getting involved in the campaign.
      He said: “Our Covid-19 vaccination programme is a testament to the country’s remarkable NHS and life sciences industry, both of which have played an integral role in getting the vaccines from lab to jab.
      “I am hugely grateful to Harry Redknapp, Chris Kamara, Eniola Aluko, Chris Hughton, Carlton Cole and Jules Breach for lending their support to help get the UK vaccinated.
      “When offered, it’s vital people book in their jab – they truly are our greatest defence against Covid-19 and will help us get even more fans back watching the sports they love.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo ‘could seal incredible Man Utd transfer return in shock swap-deal with Juventus including Paul Pogba’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are interested in swapping Paul Pogba with Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports.The rumoured deal between the Premier League giants and the Italian side could see the Portugal captain return to Old Trafford after 12 years.

      According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, both clubs are interested in re-signing their former stars.
      United are believed to want some cash for Pogba, however, and Ronaldo’s big wage demands could be a stumbling block.
      Ronaldo, 36, won three Premier League titles, two League Cups, the Champions League and the FA Cup during his six-year spell at United.
      World Cup winner Pogba, 28, enjoyed success at Juventus between 2012 and 2016, four Serie A titles and two Italian Cups.
      Both players have struggled at their current clubs, with Ronaldo failing to win Serie A this season and Pogba not lifting domestic silverware since 2017.
      The reported deal could depend on returning Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri, who is rumoured to be willing to let the Portuguese star go.
      Reports suggest the Italian coach asked Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli to get rid of Ronaldo around the time he was sacked in 2019.
      And Allegri may want to bring Pogba back to Turin, with plenty of reports linking the French with a return.

      Man Utd’s biggest transfers ever, both in and out, including Ronaldo

      Pogba has one year left on his Old Trafford contract and it’s still unclear whether he will commit his future to the Red Devils.
      Even if Ronaldo is allowed to leave Italy this summer, United may struggle to re-sign the player with Paris Saint-Germain believed to be interested.
      The Ligue 1 side are said to be concerned about losing star striker Kylian Mbappe, whose current deal expires next summer.
      PSG may decide to cash in on the 22-year-old this summer if he doesn’t renew his contract, leaving them in need of a new superstar.

      Nuno, 47, was let go by Wolves earlier this month after four successful years at Molineux.
      A move to Tottenham had been rumoured but Rome is calling, according to CalcioMercato.
      The former goalkeeper is on a shortlist that reportedly also includes Bologna’s Sinisa Mihajlovic, Rafa Benitez, Sarri and Vincenzo Italiano.
      Italiano, 43, kept newly-promoted Spezia in the Italian top-flight and is considering a new contract offer in Liguria.
      Ex-Chelsea boss Sarri, 62, may be the frontrunner for the Lazio job with TuttoMercatoWeb detailing talks between the coach and club.
      Roma were linked with the Italian before pulling off their shock move for Jose Mourinho.
